Kendo UI how to move grid command buttons

[Hai]

I have grid below. I did not like the way buttons are displayed. so would like to do 1 of these: 

1) move buttons to the bottom of the row to eliminate 2 column, mainly for mobile friendly

2) or at very least get rid of "Edit" & "Delete" label on these buttons to reduce space. When I removed button text,  buttons  no longer response to events. Why?

I have attached a screenshot. Could someone suggest a solution please!

 @(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
        .Name("grid")
        .ToolBar(toolbar => {
            toolbar.Search(); 
            toolbar.Custom().Text("Add").IconClass("bi bi-plus-circle").HtmlAttributes(new { id = "AddButton", @class="floatRight" });
            toolbar.Pdf().Text("PDF");
            toolbar.Excel().Text("Excel");})
        .Search(search=> search.Field(c=>c.Caption))
        .Selectable(select => select.Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single))
        .Events(ev => ev.Change("onChange"))
        .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
            .Ajax()
            .PageSize(20)
            .ServerOperation(false)
         )
 
        .Pageable()
        .Sortable()
        .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(f => f.Id).Visible(false);  
            columns.Bound(f => f.Odometer).Title("Equipment List").ClientTemplate("<p><strong>#=Caption#</strong></p> <ul><li>Odometer: #=Odometer #</li><li>Engine Hour: #=EngineHour #</li><li>Created date: #= CreateDateString #</li><li>Last maintenance: #= LastMaintenance?.Description # on #= LastMaintenance?.CreateDateString #</li></ul>");
            columns.Command(command => { 
                command.Custom("Edit").IconClass("bi bi-pencil-square").Click("Update");
                command.Custom("Del").IconClass("bi bi-trash").Click("Archive");
            }).Title("Actions").Width(80);
        
        })
    )

Hello Hai,

You can use any of the two approaches. 

1) You would have to add buttons to the template, attach click handler and execute the desired logic

2) Use the Text() method to set the Button label to an empty string

command.Custom("Edit").Text(" ").IconClass("bi bi-pencil-square").Click("Update");

This REPL demonstrates both the above suggestions.
